Victim treated for gunshot wound

A 25-year-old man has been charged in a shooting near Shippensburg University that sent one man to the hospital.

Darrel Hill, 25, of Shippensburg, has been charged with aggravated assault and a firearms violation.

Police said a group of men and women approached 45 Sunbeam Court in Shippensburg Township about 1 a.m. Saturday. They wanted to start an altercation with another man they thought was inside the residence.

When the group approached the home, people inside attempted to resolve the situation, police said. During the incident, a chair was thrown at a first-floor window, breaking the glass, police said.

A bullet struck a 20-year-old man in the right side of his torso and he was treated at Chambersburg Hospital and later released, police said.

Shippensburg University students received an SUALERT that read: "Shooting reported at Sunbeam Court. Shooter, described as black male, may be fleeing toward campus. Take precautions. Contact police with information."
